Return it. That particular model only fit the older Sony AXX dslr series such as the A57 - A77.

Not sure. First make sure your flash has the proper connection for the adapter of the battery pack.

Yes it works if you purchase a shoe specially made for it because the pin adapter of the flash itself does not work

Buy another brand! My flash quit on me within weeks after the one year warranty was up. Kodak told me to fix it for about $140.00, or give them back the camera for 15% off a purchase ONLY at their Kodak Store. Looks liek another reviewer had the same issue about 1 year to the day! Sorry I could not be more helpful about the repalcement of the bulb in your inquiry, but you are not alone!

The flash is attached to the lens so you need to check yoir lens has internal spiral and check the lens diameter.the flash comes with a set of adapters for different lens sizes if the right size adaptor is there then it works

Are you using a Sony camera or Nikon? If you have a Nikon camera, look for the Nikon version. If you have a Sony camera with a Nikon flash and want to get them to work together. . . . this is what I did. I purchased this to use the trigger with my Sony A99 camera and then bought thereceivers for Nikon flash - then mixed the two. As a result, I can sync my two Nikon flashes along with my Sony flash via my Sony camera.

Just make sure that you are not using a flash trigger. It will now fit with a flash trigger. If you need to use one, check the Cowboy Studio version.

Because it nikon the ttl is set up differently... Canon has it own format of TTL... What I would do is if you had the flash less than 30 day exchange it or call vivitar and ask for a replacement flash but with a canon hot shoe... Vivitar's customer service is very helpful!

I bought a 16gig sony memory card but the camera does not recognize it. Is there a flash update to the camera that it will recognize it?

Hm, not wanting to be rude but if your going to spend 1700$ on a camera body it seems like you might want to invest in a nicer flash. That said here is a quote from Sony about the flash on the Sony A7II. "Sony &#945; System Flash compatible with Multi Interface Shoe. Attach the shoe adapter for flash compatible with Auto-lock Accessory Shoe." If that does not satisfy you; here is the link to Sony corp about the A7II http://www.sony.net/Products/di/en-gb/products/v6cd/specifications.html?contentsTop=1. The reason I'm being so succinct is I'm tired of being criticized by others on this site.

I'm really sorry I can't help you, I bought this flash as a gift for a friend. I would browse through the Nikon forums if I were you....good luck!

You have to find the power cord that corresponds with your specific flash. as each flash has a different port and some do not even have a spot.

Sony uses a proprietary hot shoe so they can milk you for more money. You will need their overpriced adapter to mount a standard manual flash or triggers.

You have to pop it open for the flash to work. Actually have not used the flash much.

I bought another brand (azden?) to use as an external mic and the shoe did not fit. Instead of clicking it on, we just had to have people hold the receiver. I assume the shoe on this camera only fits the Canon brand ones. Hope that helps!

I purchased the version/model specifically made for my Canon flash and it didn't fit. Buyer beware.

Mine works fine.hold down the middle button until it starts to flash really fast,but have your device searching at the same time.make sure that your glasses are charged.hope that i could help.
